The Wolfgang® WG Standard offers the iconic style and powerful sound crafted by Eddie Van Halen, all at an affordable price for everyday musicians. It shares many top - notch features with its pricier counterparts. The basswood body has a special 'comfort cut' forearm contour, making playing a breeze. Its bolt - on baked maple neck, reinforced with graphite rods, stands up well to temperature and humidity changes. A spoke wheel at the neck base allows for quick truss rod adjustments. For comfortable and fast play, the neck back has an oiled finish, and the 12” - 16” compound radius baked maple fingerboard has rolled edges, 22 jumbo frets, and black dot inlays. Dual EVH® Wolfgang humbucking pickups, directly mounted to the body, boost vibration transfer and offer amazing sustain. Two black knurled control knobs, tuned to Van Halen's standards, let you find a unique sound while keeping the bright high - end sparkle of the pickups. The EVH - branded Floyd Rose® Special bridge and R2 locking nut keep the guitar in tune even during wild whammy use.

Using this EVH Wolfgang Standard Electric Guitar is a joy. Just pick it up and start strumming! The special forearm contour on the body makes it easy to hold for long periods. To adjust the truss rod, use the spoke wheel at the base of the neck when you notice the strings are not feeling right. When it comes to sound, play around with the two black control knobs to find your unique tone. Remember, keep the guitar in a stable environment. Extreme temperature and humidity can affect the neck and the tuning. After playing, wipe the strings with a clean cloth to remove sweat and dirt. This will help keep the strings in good condition and maintain the guitar's sound quality. Also, check the tuning before each use, especially if you've used the whammy bar a lot. And if you're not using the guitar for a long time, loosen the strings a bit to relieve the tension on the neck.
